“Bethany was so great with my babies! She went above and beyond taking care of them and is very communicative. She provided very thorough updates after every check in. Highly recommend booking her if you need a great sitter!”

“Bekah was amazing watching my two cats while I was away for a week. She spent so much time with them and sent lots of great updates and made me feel so comfortable knowing they were being taken great care of while I was away. Thank you!!!”

“Jordan is amazing! This was my second time booking with her and this time for recurring drop ins. She is great at communication and loving towards my Koko! Will be booking with her again and cannot recommend her enough!”

“Dorian was beyond Great!! He went above and beyond in his caring for our fur babies, Mr Wilson (basset hound) and Squeaks our cat. All I can say is Dorian exceeded our expectations on every Level! Rover was actually a "Vacation Saver" since our family member backed out of caring for our pets at the last minute. I will book Dorian again and recommend him and Rover to anyone who needs pet care. Book Dorian, you will be so happy you found him!”

About: Love and grew up with dogs my entire life! Have had multiple different breeds. We raised multiple puppies starting from 8 weeks old so I know how to encourage dogs well. If I was any animal… I would be my dog😋 I am available for dog walking and drop ins every weekend and weekdays 5pm and on. I love to walk and would love your furry friend to join me!! There are multiple dog parks in my apartment complex and many save neighborhood streets around me to walk on. I love the surrounding homes and so will your furry friend!
“Meg watched our cat Winnie while we were out of town and did a marvelous job! Winnie loved Meg and was very energetic and social when Meg came to visit! Meg was awesome to communicate with as well and helped given Winnie the interaction she needed while my wife and I were gone out of town!”


About: I have spent all my life growing up with animals- dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. and know what responsibilities go into making sure they are well taken care of. I often pet sit for my parents, and help to manage my senior dog’s medications, make sure our puppy is well played with and ensure they are both fed, loved, and content. I would love the opportunity to help take care of your fur babies! I have just graduated with my doctorate in physical therapy, and am on a break to study for licensure prior to starting work. I have plenty of free time to give your pets love and care anytime :) I am a very active individual, and love taking pets out for walks or playing with toys when they’re full of energy. I’m diligent and responsible in making sure they are fed, taken out, and content. I will match your dogs energy and make sure they feel loved.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 3 and have been both dog and cat sitter in the past. I have cats personally but looking forward for long walks with puppies when I can! I work remote and have a very flexible schedule. I can take pets for walks or just come spend quality time with your loved one I live in an apartment with cats of my own, so I will not be able to board pets. I am able to go check in as much as needed
“Iuliia goes above and beyond for you and your pet. She is sweet and easy to work with. Thank you for taking care of Lalo during my birthday trip. You made me feel at ease.”

“Jennifer was awesome! We had a very last minute work schedule conflict and my boyfriend and I both weren’t going to be able to feed our dog at his normal breakfast time. Jennifer was so flexible and awesome and pulled through with a last minute booking for us to give us peace of mind that his normal feeding schedule wouldn’t be impacted by our crazy work schedules. 10/10 service and would book again!”

“Alexis was fantastic! She was great with my dog and communicated very well about when she was visiting and how the dog was doing. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

About: I've been around pets since I could remember, I have had family pets all my life. I even began a neighborhood dog walking business when I was 13 after school helping all my neighbors. Eventually, when I became older I got my own dogs and I've never been happier. The last 3 years my old boss was running a side business training K9s of all breeds, I fell involve with he concept all over again. Now I want to spend every hour with all the sweetest fur pets. I am in my journey to began Law school comes August 2023. I have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to assists those around me. I walk my dog 4-6 times a day, along with playdates at my apartment bark park! It depends on all services and needs that best fit your pets! I am very easy going and flexible, whatever you need I can provide my best for your pets!
About: I’ve taken great care of all animals since i was 8 years old, i am a certified Vet assistant and I believe in quality time and positive stimulation I work from home & i have all the time for these fur babies to enjoy their time while you’re away & be in a safe environment We will go on daily walks, i have a fenced mini dog park with no dogs to avoid any issues & my time will be focused on them enjoying themselves.
“Karen and Jason treated our babies like they were their own. They made quick friends with even our shyest cat and really made us feel SO MUCH BETTER about being away. I cannot recommend Karen enough!!”

About: I love dogs so much and would love to walk any pups in the Channelside/Water Street/Harbour Island areas! I’m always happy to watch my friends pets and treat them like they’re my own. I can walk dogs on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! I work Monday - Thursday in St Pete so it’d be harder for me on those days unless its before or after work! I love dogs so much and would be doing this for pure enjoyment! With that being said, I will take care of your pup like they are my own. I am a very cautious walker just because I have a small senior dog and will walk your dog with the same care.
“Rachel, you are awesome! Thanks for making our whirlwind few days enjoyable, knowing our two furry friends had amazing care! Thank you for rolling with a couple of scheduling changes and going the extra mile!”

About: I have been taking care of neighbors and family members dogs for over 10 years and I now volunteer for a pet rescue and foster! I currently only work part time and my schedule is very flexible! I’m mostly available for morning and evening walks. This can change so never be afraid to ask! I have experience with animals of all ages and breeds. If your fur baby is nervous around new people, don’t worry! I will go slow and make sure that they are comfortable.
Tampa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Oakley. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates/photos, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Oak can be high energy and she handled him perfectly. It gave me a ton of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.

Theresa was amazing! She came 3 times daily to care for our two small dogs and two cats, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. I was honestly pretty nervous going into this, since we’ve only ever had family in our home to watch our pets. But her calm, reassuring presence immediately put us at ease. She was always on time, communicated clearly, and sent great updates and photos while we were away. We came home to happy, healthy pets, which says it all. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!

I was honestly nervous because I had never used Rover before, but I had such a wonderful experience with Bella. She took such special care of my little Emma, my shy Maltipoo, and was incredibly patient and kind with her. What really meant a lot to me was that she took the time to meet Emma before the actual walk day so Emma could feel comfortable and safe with the person handling her. That extra effort made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend Bella to anyone, and I think Rover is a great service for pet owners looking for caring, trustworthy help. 🤍
